Deputy sheriffs helping keep Ridgewood traffic flowing

IT’S TAKING three sheriff’s deputies to deal with traffic following temporary lane closures on Ridgewood Road, but officials say everything is under control.

The two southbound lanes on Ridgewood were closed last week so crews could begin repairing a sewer main under the street.

Construction began a week or two earlier than Jackson city officials initially anticipated, with Public Works Director Dan Gaillet telling the Sun the project wasn’t expected to get under way until September.
